A suggestion, use rods rather then cables and pulleys to operate the doors - they don't stretch

I think I can use a rod for the actuators but I'm sure I'll have to use cable on the manual release. Finding a hidden yet accessible location for the manual release knob may be challenging. Any suggestions?

Do you have an additional locking mechanism on your doors or do you assume that no door handles is enough to keep most predators out?

If the car still had the original handles on it I don't think I'd bother with shaving them even though I like the shaved look. However, as I stated on my other thread, my dad put late 50's/early 60's push-button door handles on the car while I was away one weekend during our original build years ago. I hated them but he had worked so hard on it that I didn't protest. He's no longer with us so those handles must go......
